THE SUNDAY EXPRESS.

The issue of Thf. Sunday Express day

after to-morrow will be fully up to the

standard of excellence now bo well recognized by its readers.

One of the most interesting features will l9 a review of Mr. Bellamy's book,

"Looking Backward," by a well-known lady of this city. Mrs. Mary J. Holmes

writes about what women most admire in men, Edgar Wakeman furnishes an­

other descriptive letter of the Azore islands, and "Bab," the bright New York

correspondent, gossips about men and women, mostly about women, in her

own vivaciouo way.

After Thanksgiving comes Christmas.

Drop a postal card in the mail box and get letter from Groyer.

It was a very dismal Thanksgiving for Lynn and Boston and the insurance companies.

it was very thoughtful in the first Bnow of the year to come on Thanksgiving. The date will be remembered with no difliculty.

The state treasurer reports that county auditors as they come in to make their Bemi-annual Bettlements report that tax collections this fall have been much larger than last year. Indiana is all right.

Give thanks that congress will soon be session when affairs of public concern will be discuseed in preference to the choice of this or that man as a public servant whose duty it is to attend to these affairs of public concern.

It would be after the manner of the arguments of the free traders to say that ths greit misfortunes that have befallen the shoe and leather trade are attrtb .utable to the placing of hides (so-called raw material) on the free list.

The thermometer registered 19.4 de grees above zero yesterday morning at 7 o'clock. It was the coldest morning of the winter, which has been so backward, and was a lower temperature than the average for winter in this climate. Still we need cold weather in all lines of business.

There is consolation for Iiepublicans in the fact that while Iowa and Ohio have contributed a stalwart Republican population to the Northwest and thus added to the chances of Democratic success in the states name that the Republicans in the new Northwest states can now help the party out in federal elections.

While it is true that thegreat increase in (ire losses in October and November over other months in the year can usually be traced to carelessness in the first use of stoves nnd

tiu9s

for the winter,

the disasters at Lynn and Boston mutt be accounted for in another way. The original fire in each instance may have been attributable to the usual causes found in the lirst use of tire but the ter rible extent of the conflagration is merely coincident with the other fact.

The shoe and leather trade seem9 to be an especial object of disaster. During the past year the number, and amount involved, in business failures far surpassed that iu nnv other particular line in proportion to the money invested. The tires at Lynn and Boston have, it would seem, completed the process of the survival of the fittest. If the industry was overdone and the shrinkage represented in the failures did not bring it down to a sound basis, certainly these fire3 must have done so.

There isn't much genuine Hoosier Republican spirit in a political club located at the capital of the state that

Bt

this

time changes its name from "Indianapolis Republican club" to "Farwell club." Considering the fact that Indianapolis has received nearly all the "spoils" for Indiana, or disposed of what went to the state at large, the excuse that the club changed its name in honor of the Illinois senator because he is not satisfied with the distribution cf patronage, is Ihe unkindest cut of all. The logic of it is that Republican clubs in other parts of the state should become Cleveland clubs to attest their disapproval of the president's course in the matter of federal patronacre.

Mr. Cleveland's free trade leader, Wm. L. Scott of Pennsylvania, the man who was depended on to secure

a

majority

vote for the Mills bill in the house, is being shown up in his true light. Recently a letter fro* yn asking for a railroad pass for mr could be of service to corDoratic ,v 'made public. In it he declare ie, jjjtott. believed that corporation v- ,, forces.

Now he is presented to the country in the attitude of a determined enemy of organized labor. We have heard much from our Indiana free trade friends in denunciation cf Republican mine operators in this state but no one will say that any Indiana mine operator has adopted the extreme measures of hardship now being carried out at the Springvalley minee of Mr. Free Trade Scott.

THE CIVIL SERVICE LAW.

Congressman Owen, of this state, has joined in the movement set on foot by Senator Farwell, of Illinois, for the repeal of the civil service law. But it should be said for Mr. Oiven, that he does not go so far as Senator Farwell in advocating the spoils doctrine: Senator Farwell frankly declares for spoils as spoils he demands their distribution by party bosses, and believes in the partyjboseas a party necessity. He beleives the offices are for party benefit, or plunder, if you please. Congressman Owen does not believe in wiping out the 'Pendleton law entirely, but that if retainedit should be extended so as to take in all the offices. He says that a congressman ehould be either relieved entirely of deciding between applicants, or should have at his disposal all the patronage in his district.

The law should be strictly applied or entirely abandoned. The use of patron age as such one day and the refusal to do so the next on the pretenee that the civil service law must be respected is hypocrisy, such as made Cleveland a laughing stock as a civil ser vice reformer. The use of patronage to make a politician a boss will never be tolerated in this country. It is equally true that the members of the two great political parties will never consent that when their party is in power that the ofii ces shall be in part held by men who are not in empathy with that parly's policy. We believe the Republican party can furnish competent and ellioient officials for every office in the land, and we believe Democrats are equally as sincore in the belief that their party can do likewise. To assert this belief does not make of one a spoilsman, such as Senator Farwell, nor does the advocacy of civil service reform principles to be ap plied to all persons, except in instances where one is personally interested, make of one a civil service reformer.

They say that the enthusiasm on the subject of base ball Is positively tofreshing and that the responses to their requests for aid are cheerful and hearty. Tills Is all very pleasant. We are to have a club anyhow and it might as welt be a good one. The mors solid a foundation Ihe club has the better players they can eet.

Rochester Post Kxpress (Dent.): "Madam," •aid an unfortunate boarder to the lady of the house, "I can eat pork Torty or fifty times In succession. but when It conies to having It for a steadr diet It makes me tired." The Democrats of the country have had a steady dtet of Mr. Cleveland for eight years, and the thought of another four years—with an Indefinite renewal—gives them a qualm In the stomach. Art is long and lire is fleeting. The days of the modem Democrat are few and full of trouble, and he is willing to spend eight or ten years of lits alloted period of earthlv pilgrimage In the business of electing or trvlng to elect Mr. Cleveland to oflice: but when tt comes to devoting the whole of his three score rears and ten. or peradvjnture four score years, to that task, he feels like wishing for a removal of that'll ippy country where even Mr. Cleveland would not think of getting up a boom or running for the presidency. but rest content to adjust his halo sweetly, repose his angelic adiposity among the asphodels, and thrum his golden harp in the Innocuous desuetude of all ambition.

LIFE OF A PERISAN GIRL.",

Her eyes were black as sloea. Of course th*y are bltjck, for blu° eyes are considered unlucky in Persia. Her ekin is a rich, warm, delicate brown that-overlays the round, plump features, tinged with a tint of rose where. t®e dimples are or should be, the silky hair is dgrk as the plume of a raven that crowns the head of the littie girl baby, who was born but yesdBy in that dwelling at the foot of Mount ElboTz. Tbe mollah. or priest, has already been to the house, and, in the presence of her father, has turned over the leaves of the koran or Mahome tan scriptures, and hit on the name of Fathimeh the daughter of Mahomet the prophet, ao Fathimeh ia to be tbe name of the new-born babe. She is a Persian and in Persia will she live, for it is only with the special permission of the shah that- aPerisan woman can live out of her native land.

She is hut a day old, says G. W. Benjamin in tbo New \ork World, but an amulet has been already hung on her nectt containing a scrap of paper on which is inscribed a passage from the koran, intended to ward off mischief from djinns or evil'epirks. For the same reason if any of the neighbors look in to see the little stranger and express admiration of her beauty the nurse request them to spit iu the baby's face lest the influence of tbe evil eye should lurk in what might be the praise of envy or jealousy. A tiny white cap of open embroidery also covers the infant's hair p.nd her limbs are swathed tightly in swaddling bands.

When Fathirnoh is five or s:x months old the bands are gradually removed and her hair is dyed with henna. The tirst application turns it to a bright orange red, the second wash turns the hair to a rich blue-black. The finger and toe-nails, the solse of tbe feet, and the palms of her hand are also dyed yellow with henna.

When little Fathimeh is old enough to toddle about she has a prt-aent of red slippers, embroidered with tinsel, but rarely wears them play, for they are an incumbrance. When she is two or three years old, however, she bagina to wear a mant'p—an article of dress that she will wear until her dsath, whenever she steps out of the house, whether to sport in the garden or play or walk in the street. This awkward drees 6he wears attached to her head, and it reaches to her feet.

While still a child, little Fathimeh sits in the gate, and sometimes plays with tbe boys of the neijfrborhood, and thus, perhaps, forms a passing acquaintance with her future husband. If her parents were peasants she would accompany them to the fields, and aid in picking the fruit and gleaning the harvest. But bb her parents are well-to-do city folks of some means, she is soon taught that her destiny is to be a life almost as secluded as that of a nunnery. Her days are to be passed within the seclusion of the anderoon, or women's quarter of the house, where she reeidee, whether it be her father's or her husband's ande roon. If the former, by the time Futhi meh is 9 years old her days are passed in apartments' where her only society is that of her mother, sisters and brothers and the female slaves of the household. Occasionally other little girls pay her a formal visit, and they

paES

a serious af-

ternooD, eating cucumbers and confectionery to a degree that would speedily kill off most American children.

If Fathimeh'a father has several wive?, which it is greatly to be feared is the case, then she also has her half-brothers and sisters as playmates, and a merry time they have of it. The anderoon is entirely separated from the rest of the establishment, within an enclosure of itB owl1, and each wife, with her family, occupies a dis'.inct portion of the anderoon It is built around a square court-yard surrounded by hi^h walls, so that no one may look into it, nor is any neighboring house permitted to loox into the anderoon court, whether from the roof or from windows. Nor are there any windows in tbe audtroon itself that face the street. Thus you can see i.bat the anderoon and its court are entirely shut out from the world.

However, these quarters are by no means as dreary as oue might imagine, for the court is laid out with parterre* filled with an extraordinary profusion of flower, chit-fly roses, asters, pinks, lavender, oleander and maiigolde. It is densely shaded also with lindens, china trees, poplars, and pomegranate treee, the latter a most exquisite addition to every garden where it grows with its bright green, glossy leaves, its lovely, flame colored blossoms, and rich red globes of fruit. Hidden in this wealth of foliage the bulbul or nightingale warbles its enchanting straits, not only during the still watches of a moonlighted night, but often during the hush of a drowsy summer day. In the center of the court there is an immense tank into which tbe water often runs for hours with a grateful music, being afterward drawn off to irrigate the garden. But it is never empty, aud around its brim the children play, and the doves alight to strut and coo.and tbe ducks float upon its surface.

The chief meal of the day is in the evening, after the sunset prayer has been announced from tbe lofty minarets. Faihimeh's father then withdraws from the duties of the day, and seeks the seclusion of the anderoon with his family. Dinnsr is served to him on the floor. It is brought in upon a large disk of whitened copper, nnd consists chiefly of soups, badly seasoned ragouts, rice, sweets and tea. The lord of the mansion eats alone. His wife looks on, while, peated on his knees and heels, he leans over the dishes and carries the food to his mouth with a bit of thin bread of the country hollowed between his fingers 'ike a spoon. If he is in a pleasant mood he calls Fathimeh to his side and puts a choice tidbit in her moutb, saying: "Eat, my mb, it is good for thy health, id willing!"

Going to the bath is one of Fathimeh's diversions from the earliest childhood. At least once a week her mother takes her there. They make an afternoon of it. Fathimeh has her fingers freshly dyed with henna, and her hair, which has grown very long, is plaited into innumerable small braids, which are expected to last without recombing until her next visit to the bath. These day6 at the bath are an education to the little girl, now rapidly approaching womanhood. With the exception of a few lessors with the needle or on the guitar or in the ma"king of preserves, the litt'e miiden hBS no other education except what she gains from hearing older people of her own sex converse. And thus, when she is at the bath, and hears the women talking while embroidering or smoking, after the ablutions are over, she learrs much from their conversation of life in the outside world of Persia, and she ^ill need all the information she can acquire: for if ever she learns to read and write, which is not likely, it must be after abe is married. That marriage is her inevitable destiny, she learns as soon as she can talk. There

are no old maids in that country. When she is 11 or 12 years rld the question of finding her a husband is earnestly discuseed. The matter is settled between the parents of the bride and the groom, the most difEcut point to arrange being the amount of the dowry to be paid with the bride. If this is the first marriage of the prospective husband, then he also is young, not over 16 or IT. The marriage is accompanied with great pomp, and the festivities last several

days,

which the bride is taken to her new home at the head of a Ion? procession, crowding tbe narrow streets, marching to the sound of horns, pipes and kettledrums. And there we leave tbe little bride, hoping she will have bt least her share of wedded bliss.

DEATH AT THE DEPOT.

A .Scpne Which Brought Tears to the Eye* of Many, A frail little woman, with her arms about a white coftia, and two children clinging to the folds of a much-worn drees, whs a sight which made a little crowd of watting passengers at one of the depots shudder, says the Detroit Evening News. It wab a pitiful yet ghastly sight. Pitiful because the fcg ile mother's face was bathed in tears. Ghastly, because the plain box contaiued the clay of what had been few hours before a laughing, fair-faced babe, whose life was a part of its mother's.

The little woman was coming West to meet a prospecting husband who had chosen Detroit as a place to establish his home. Loaded down with bundles and with three little tots whose ages seemed about one, she began the journey. During Jthe trip one child was taken suddenly sick. The intense pains threw the little one into spasms. The mother was totally helpless. She could but sit sileot, listen to the cries of her pet, and smother her sorrow for its suffering. Tbe child's little life went out almost before the mother knew it. The passengere, not realizing what a sad little tragedy had been enacted, wondered at the woman's tears and possibly vented a sigh of passing sympathy.

When the train reached" Toledo a coroner was called. He was as the typical coroner, and had had the last drop of sympathy distilled from his heart by continual contact with the black side of life. He sent for a white box, put the little one in it, still dressed in its everyday clothes, and sent the broken-hearted mother on her way to Detroit.

She was without meane, and at the station went to the baggage-car and claimed the box. She came with it to the door of the depot and nonplused the criers by asking the way to the nearest undertaker's. The men were touched by the pitiful scene and offered her a carriage. She was driven away, and th» rough-faced bystanders were serious and thoughtful.

AWFULLY SOLEMN COURT.

Military Culprits Undergoing Trials at the Hands of Potentates. For real unbending dignity—dignity so stiff that the autumn zephyrs pause and consider a moment before entering its presence—the ordinary militia court martial is commended, says the Indian apolie News. The culprit, who is prob ably charged with having failed to get the correct crook into his elbow when saluting his superior officer, is arranged btfore a court so awe inspiring and of a bearing so portent-ious that be is weighed down with gloomy fore.bodinge. Every word uttered mu9t be written down on the spot and solemnly re-read. It 6eeme almost that the offender is on trial for life. From that court, a sentence of five dollars fine, or a suspension from the ranke for ten days, fal like a dread command to strike off the villian's head at sunrise.

For several days a court martial has been in session at tbe hall of the Gjv ernors's guards in the cyclorama building. Lieutenant J. B. Davis, Company M, Second regiment, and Sergeant John Edlen, of the same company, have al ready been tried, and "still there's more to follow." The court will go to Craw fordsville to try a case and a tremblicg prisoner will be brought here later from Terre Haute for trial. Tne findings will remain in a dense envelope of secrecy until approved by the governor.

THE POLICY OF BANKERS.

An Instance of a PerCenl. Loan Coming Outof the Money of an S i'er Cent. Batik. Though the policy of the Capital National bank is not at present to be made public, it was said, yesterday, by aboard of trade man, that one of its heaviest stockholders told .him it was no secret that the bank finds use for some of the surplus money of country banks,says the Indianapolis Journal. To do this it will let money go out at a rate of interest that will enable Indianapolis merchants to borrow on terms business men in New York, Cincinnati and Chicago obtain from banks in those cities. "The head of a weil-kcown )bbinghous»." the board of trade man continued, "recently went to a leading local bank nnd asked for a loan. The banker agreed to l»t him have the money, but the rate, S per c«nt, the merchant would not accepf. II* made application to a country banker who gls'lly loaned him the q'lired amount at per oentTbe check tor the amount was sent to tbe merchant, who found it was payable at the bank, where S per cent, was the rate. The monty had, however, to be taken from the vaults of the Indianapo lis bank, while the interest upon the Bum loaned went to the ci ffers of the country bank."

The Ownership of Natural Oa-*. No one who is so fortunate as to tap a stream of natural gas flawing beneath his land has any exclusive right in thaj stream, in the opinion of the Pennsylvania supreme court. Another man may tap the stream and leave the first possessor gasless, and the latter has no remedy. The court is of opinion that gas, oil and water are in the same cate gory as animals wild by nature. The owner of the land has property in them so long as tbry remain on the land, but once they escape, the control of the first owner is gone. This is common sense, and the result is that the only way that the owne*r of an nrtesian wnter, oil or gas well can keep his neighbors from shBriDg in tbe reservoir below is to buy up all tbe land in the vicinity and keep his neighbors at a distance.

THE GARTER MUST GO.

The German Doctor* Turn From Corset* and Fa te Hair to Garters. The German doctors, who of late years have conducted an exceptionally successful campaign against corsets and false hair in Germany, have now dec'ared war against the garter, says the Now York Sun. "The greatest injury done by the garter," says a physician in Berlin, "is the disturbance of the circulation of the blood in the lower leg. The pressure of the garter hinders the influx there of fresh blood, and that part of the body, thus deprived of nourishment, remains undeveloped. It ia weak and often refuses to do its duty in walking. The fi)w of the blood already used from the leg below the garter i* a'so retarded, and very peculiar phenomena often follow. The first sympmscf trouble are varicose wine, which frequently 'have very serious consequences Varix irf notably much more trequent amocg women than among m«n. The cause of the difference is the carter. The pressure of the garter ip also responsible for most cases of swelling of the feet, accompanied by a feeling of general exhaustion. Tbe invalids, for they are such, ore no longer tit even to attend to thpir light duties about thf house. Whenever the garter is left off soon enough, all these painful diseases vBnisb. Delay in applying this remedy results generally in a greater or lees deformity of the leg and foot and in the incapacity of both to discharge all the functions properly to be expected of them."
